“After 15 years sa unang anak ko, at after 3 years na tina-try namin ng asawa ko tsaka pa lang binigay ni Lord. Miracle baby para sa amin knowing na mababa ang sperm count ng asawa ko. Kung kani-kanino na din ako nagtanong para magpaalaga dahil tumatanda na din ako — turning 37 this year — kaya mas takot na ako sa mga imposibleng mangyari sa;kin,” she continued. “Pero iba ang FAITH namin kay LORD lalo na ang asawa ko. Ang dasal niya palagi na sana mabigyan niya kami ng anak at grabe PRAISE GOD, napakaganda ng regalo mo sa’min.”

“Yes finally after many years of trying, we are now having a baby. Just to give you a background, mababa po ang sperm count ko and that is one of the reasons kaya hirap kami ng asawa ko. Been battling this issue sa sarili ko for how many months now pero lagi ko kinakausap si Lord. Sabi ko, ‘Lord alam ko hindi ko na kailangan mag pa freeze para lang makabuo kami. Hindi ko kailangan uminom ng gamot para makabuo kami. Lord alam ko kapag hiniling ko sayo ibibigay mo siya sa’min in YOUR PERFECT TIME,’” he said.
